このコンテンツについて
Gene Simmons has had quite the week in the spotlight, making major moves both on the political stage and the rock and roll circuit. The Kiss bassist is set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property next Tuesday, December 9th, giving his star power to a renewed push for the American Music Fairness Act. This legislation would require AM and FM radio stations to pay performers when they broadcast their songs, a move supporters argue closes a major loophole in how the music industry compensates artists. Simmons will appear alongside Michael Huppe, president and CEO of SoundExchange, the nonprofit that collects digital streaming royalties. In a statement, Simmons emphasized that artists must be properly compensated for their creative work, and he plans to meet with both Republican and Democrat senators to outline his support for the bill. This marks a pivotal moment in what's been a long-running battle to bring traditional radio in line with digital streaming platforms.
The timing couldn't be more significant for Simmons personally. Just two days before his Senate testimony, he and Kiss will receive the Kennedy Center Honors, cementing the legendary band's cultural legacy. Meanwhile, the rock icon continues his solo momentum with an extensive 2025 North American tour launching in April with nineteen dates spanning from California to Texas, with stops across Florida, the Northeast, and into Ontario, Canada. Simmons will be joined by guitarists Brent Woods and Jason Walker and drummer Brian Tichy for this spring run.
On the business front, Kiss recently completed their final farewell concert exactly one year ago at Madison Square Garden on December 2nd. The band is currently developing a five-part documentary about their End of the Road tour, though no release date has been announced yet. Additionally, Kiss is working on an ABBA-style avatar show expected to launch in 2027 at a yet-to-be-revealed location, following their sale of their catalog, brand name, and IP to Pophouse Entertainment back in April.
Simmons has been actively engaging with fans on social media as well, taking song requests for his upcoming tour dates and soliciting fan input on what tracks he should perform live.
